    Don't throw my name in that because you brought up some dumb azz example Bobby.

    Depends on who you ask... Many will say the police are just doing their jobs and that is acceptable.

    Agreed -- people should stop resisting arrest and/or leading cops on 100mph chases. Terrible trend.

    When the plurality of people claiming it's a trend can demonstrate that they've reviewed data and considered context and circumstances rather than citing individual anecdotes, historical sentiment or regurgitating memes.

    Only a moron would assert that bias against one group and mistreatment of individuals in all other groups by the same institutions are mutually exclusive and use a circumstantially irrelevant example to demonstrate it. Only a butt-hurt coward would lash out with invective after being proven wrong.

    My Glock 27 ( Baby.40) holds nine in the mag plus one in the pipe. I always carry a spare mag from a Glock 22. 15 rounds

    Why? The jury disagrees.

    People make a big deal of how many shots were fired. If an officer feels threatened, then it doesn't matter if it's 2 shots or 200 shots.

    Cops shoot almost all of the bullets they have. Studies have proven this. Back in the day of revolvers, cops shot an average of 2-3 rounds. Wonder nines raised that number over 10. If you want them to shoot less, the action is clear. Don't judge them on how much they shoot if you don't agree with the action needed to reduce rounds fired.

    basically this.

    No reasonable person would feel so threatened as to need to shoot 49 times with only 2 targets. I just don't buy it.

    I wouldn't judge if he had just emptied his clip, it's the reloading twice part that makes it WAY excessive.
